A Spider's Sacrifice

A good mother's sacrifice in bringing up her children, is often compared to that of a spider. Generally a spider is despised as a loathsome creature. But its maternal love is unparalleled. 
The spider offers its body as nutritious food to its little things. They feed on the mother's body to sustain their life. By the time they grow up, the mother spider, by then a skeletal remain, dies.
A juxtaposition of the spider's oozing maternal love, was the gruesome incident where a cruel mother branded her four yearold daughter with hot iron rod. The woman wanted to finish her off as she did not want a girl child. May God stop the multiplication of such a breed of women which is a blot on noble motherhood.
